CN100 STUDENT REPORTER OF THE GAME
The CN100 Student Reporter of the Game (SR) will provide an opportunity for a designated student to be an actual on-air participant in the CN100 Game of the Week as a contributor of the Keys to the Game segment. Additionally, the SR will contribute an off line post game wrap-up report that will become a separate Video on Demand feature segment supported by actual game video.
1. On-air sideline interview with designated SR
During pre-game or at an opportune break during the first quarter, the CN100 play-by-play announcer will toss to the CN100 sideline reporter standing by with the designated SR.
The SR ideally will dress in a collared shirt that identifies him or her as from the host school.
Graphics will be prepared to identify SR’s name and school for interview ID.
SR will hold CN100 microphone and will address CN100 sideline reporter in conversational fashion.
The CN100 Sideline Reporter will open, toss and control segment.
Example of exchange…
“Thank You Jim Blaney. I’m alongside Wheaton Warrenville South Senior Bobby Smith –Bobby, What are your keys to today’s game?
Student Reporter relates keys to the game, which will entail brief elaboration on two-three bullet points (pre-provided by student) that describe each team’s strengths and challenges and how those factors will impact the game. SR can refer to hand held reporters notebook.
This segment will be enhanced by graphics that will be pre-loaded to support the SRs keys to the game. SR must provide keys via E-Mail to Daniel_Capasso@cable.comcast.com by 5:00pm Thursdays of game week.
Segment will be pre-rehearsed on the field 40 minutes prior to kickoff.
There will be no retakes of the actual Game of the Week SR segment. Segment will be shot in live to tape fashion and will not be edited!
At the conclusion of the segment CN100 Sideline Reporter will toss back to CN100 play-by-play announcer, who will thank SR and also remind viewers to a watch the SR’s post game wrap-up later this week on VOD.
